SHV, Your Intentions 3 Weeks Before Release - Page 3

COWBOY10 · 02-11-10, 02:02 PM

At the moment, I will be waiting for the reviews, See what Neal Has to say about it, and if anyone is having issues with the DRM.

Gonna be the first SH that I will miss on day one.

Sad times.

Will I buy, well to be honest if the reviews are good, and I can find a way to get around my bad internet then, well Maybe

I've bought every (diesel) subsim released to date and would of course have bought this SH V too - looks very exciting!

- but I am not able to play it with this "always-online" requirement

If UbiSoft removes that DRM-thing, I'll buy three copies just for the support

- there's always a contest somewhere for them

.. though technically not a problem for me, I shall not buy the game. I do not want to support such a behaviour from a publisher.

ASAP ASAP

I need to buy the SILENT HUNTER 5 Game ASAP

ASAP

-Danse- · 02-11-10, 03:46 PM

Depends.

I still know remarkably little about it, other than there are no fleet boats in it, which seems a step back after SH4. I'd have thought by now they'd be trying to release a definitive version of Silent Hunter, building on what's available in the others combined.

Expansion in the future?

The DRM is a big negative for me, and could well mean I stick to 4 and let this one pass on by.

If I'm honest, I'm undecided still.

Ill buy it the very day that the performance problems are patched out. (Yes, yes, the online thing) So, same as before.

They are. That's why it's got no fleet boats.

Less inclined to buy atm..

I just purchased the Gold Version of SH4 from Amazon for under a £10.00 as I want to try the U-boat addon.

I bought SH4 collectors edition on release, but won't be touching SH5 probably until the Gold Edition is available and the DRM is removed.

Cheers

Waiting for the OSP tether to be removed and patches have been released to make sure it works.

Ragtag · 02-11-10, 07:03 PM

Same, not buying any ubisoft game with OSP unless they offer an offline option.

thruster · 02-11-10, 07:05 PM

sorry, going online is a total deal breaker. not a chance.

however if there is ever an off-line version then i will buy it as i originally intended to [the first second i see it!].

happy hunting to those kaleun who do.

Interesting how you can vote for every selection in the poll.

JU_88 · 02-11-10, 07:15 PM

Still buying as planned,
Will live with / work around the DRM, hopfully it will be lifted eventually.
It sounds like the game may not be finnished, but it also looks like it has great potential. Looks like they did a good job with the NPC Units.

It wont be perfect, but it looks good enough for the money.

TH0R · 02-11-10, 07:21 PM

If I get a PC to run it on. If not, indifferent until we get a proper review.

Glock17 · 02-11-10, 07:27 PM

not going to buy it unless the osp is removed, as one of my favorite pass times when traveling/away from home are playing SH on my laptop. cba to pay for a mobile net on that thing just to play SH.
